The veteran pace bowler Trent Boult picked up a well-deserved five wickets in the 3rd One-day international match against England at Kennington Oval, London on 13th September 2023. It was a dream bowling effort by Boult who looked threatening and made life tough for England batters.
New Zealand captain Tom Latham won the toss and decided to field first. It was an ideal start for the visitors as Boult dismissed Jonny Bairstow off his very 1st delivery and then got rid of Joe Root taking an inside edge onto the stumps to leave England in trouble at 13 for 2. Boult came into the bowling attack and broke brilliant 199 runs stand for the 3rd wicket. The left-arm pace bowler dismissed Sam Curran with a good catch by Devon Conway.
He ended with a brilliant yorker getting the wicket of Gus Atkinson picking his 5th wicket. Boult finished including impressive figures of 5 for 51 in 9.1 overs. The other New Zealand bowlers were taken to the cleaners by Ben Stokes smashing 182 runs off 124 deliveries that helped England post 368 in 48.1 overs. He did a superb job during rain curtailed 2nd One-day international match at Rose Bowl, Southampton by picking 2 early wickets.

Boult took 17 wickets from 10 matches (10 innings) at an economy of 4.83 runs per over with best figures of 4/30. Boult decided not to play for New Zealand cricket in any format since last year.
